Let's hear about the advantages the advantages of the update from those who have installed it. Anything that stands out?
[Nook Touch General] tamasrepus:
Stuff I've noticed:

Better battery life w/ WiFi enabled (lasts an extra day or 2?)

Touchscreen feels more "responsive"

Screen refreshing is supposed to be better (as mentioned by B&N), but I haven't noticed it.
[Nook Touch General] ravn1:
So it should be safe to update? Do you just update, boot on sd with the rooted forever screen and then you have your old apps and settings again?
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
ravn1,

Mine didn't got that way, but I didn't wait to see how others fared on their update. I had to unroot, reboot, update and root again. Everything was lost (data was on SD, so only apps were really lost).

But I see that some others managed to update without losing everything. Look carefully on which way is better for you.
[Nook Touch General] voluntarytestsubject:
I'm going to give it a shot. I have a "control" nook STR and a rooted nook STR, so I'll be able to compare.

I noticed (in logcat) that the BN service has started to acknowledge there's an OTA update, but it immediately warns, and does not start the download/update.

This suggests that the OTA update can be blocked at this stage by making the Downloads directory inaccessible, although I'm not sure currently what path it's checking.
[Nook Touch General] smashingblue:
Where can I download the 1.0.1 update now that the 1.1.0 update is the only one available on bn.com?
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Got a copy on my own. Maybe it could be uploaded somewhere. Mediafire maybe. I'll try and I'll tell you.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fremen567:
Hello,

I know there's a lot of brick topics and I looked at them and couldn't find any help. To sumarize. Flashed Dary 10.2 EE and after having freezes and what not went and restored my back up. It restored but boots only to Talon splash screen as that happens to be kernel I was on before Darky. Funny thing is I cannot boot to recovery but I can to download mode. So I set up to flash new firmware with odin and click repartition, that's an obvious solution. The problem is that the phone is not recognized in download mode. But it is recognised when it's on the splash screen. I unplug it put to download mode plug it back in and nada, tried reinstalling drivers kies and what not. Nada. And one more think when off and I plug it, it looks like it is not charging, there's just all gray battery symbol on screen and that's it.

I'd appreciate it if you guys have any suggestions or solutions.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
hmmm weird.

Have you tried a different USB port ? preferably direct into motherboard ?

Also, what version of odin are you using ? there are several versions, perhaps you could try a newer version and see if that makes a difference ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fremen567:
it simply doesn't show up in device management of the computer when in download mode and it needs to for odin to recognise it regardless of version. Did try different usb port and still nada. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
try a different computer... see if that works
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrithan2020:
First, thing try,try try again :)..

If it doesn't work, maybe the issue is with the microUSB port, try cleaning it using cloth dipped in spirit. [had a similar issue , where my phone would charge, when connected via usb, but wouldn't get detected. got solved using this ]

Hope it helps.. :)

[HTC Desire S] Homangni:
I'm going to buy a new HTC phone...I've been thinking of Desire S although it doesn't have sense 3.0 but available with custom roms. Is this a good choice. I thought about Sensation but its outta my budget. Any suggestions( must have a large screen and resolution with good sound quality). Pls suggest a good one.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I've seen deals online in the UK offering sensation on T-mobile at same price that you'll get the desire s for which was £25pm for 24m with no cost for phone.

so look around more, if you want big screen then Sensation might be for you , as desire s is mid sized screen which is why i own one.

I suggest that you go to a shop and decide which one of the two feels right in your hand/pocket.
[HTC Desire S] Clivectmob:
I cannot stress enough, do not get a sensation. There is an epic problem with dust getting in under the screen. I do not usually take too much notice of things said on forum's as they are usually only a few people moaning about isolated cases, but this is different. I had one from three in the uk, it had dust, sent it back and the second one was worse. Also, sense 3.0 is laggy and unsmooth compared to 2.1, and in general it does not feel any quicker than the desire s. When i sent the second one back i got a desire s instead and it feels a much better product than the sensation. Smoother, better battery life and a nicer size too. Only thing i miss is the screen resolution of the sensation, but it's not that big an issue really 800x480 is hardly cramped!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
No! There is an even better deal than that! I got mine from talkmobile for

£15 handset, £25 a month for a 1 year contract!!

I get 300mins, 1000 texts, 1gb data! It is a special tariff and will be expired soon.

I also get £46 quidco cashback and NHS 40% discount.

So for the handset and data plan, im paying just over £200!!!

What a deal!
[HTC Desire S] FragZero:
Great phone, proud owner for about a month now and it functions great.

You do mention a big screen. The desire s is only 3.7" while most phones are 4-4.3". You might want to compare different sizes in a store.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeh, I came from all big screen devices, and now when I switch back to my sgs2 the screen seems mssive!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
isn't the incredible s basically the desire s with a bigger screen?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Pretty much. Although it has a better camera, and supposedly hardware supported SRS Wow
[HTC Desire S] colgate13:
Now that Prepaid Mania is sold out, where is the cheapest place in the UK to buy the Desire S?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Got mine for £220ish with a free desire s, 300mins, 1000texts, 1gb data. What a deal. Limited promotion.
[HTC Desire S] choiia:
I was looking for my first smartphone nearly 2 months. In terms of size i picked only the motorola defy and the htc desire s as an option. All the other phones are simply too big in my opinion. I´m glad i picked the classy desire s. ;-)

Only down fall to desire s would be slow aosp rom development
[HTC Desire S] ste1164:
If you want a htc phone for development get a htc desire hd. If you don't want a screen that big get the incredible s. If that is still too big get the desire s

[Wildfire General] jayzhoukj:
hey guys, firstly, there is a problem downloading files from the Android Market of file size above 5MB.

Because of that, i went seeking for solutions and found this:

In terminal emulator (start from app drawer):

mkdir /mnt/sdcard/market-download-cache

su

cd /cache

mv download download.bak

ln -s /mnt/sdcard/market-download-cache download

ls -ahl

following my findings, I applied accordingly using terminal emulator and since then, my Android Market is UNABLE to download ANY apps AT ALL! from the looks of it, the commands have moved the market's download cache. any methods to move it back and enable me to download apps again?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[Wildfire General] ccatalin:
I have the same problem on cyonogen mod 7.10 on the wildfire.
[Wildfire General] jayzhoukj:
help

hey anybody out there can help out here? any form of help is much appreciated!
[Wildfire General] jim-bo:
Well, reversing what you did is trivial

from a terminal emulator, just run the following commands

su

cd /cache

mv download download.link.bak

mv download.bak download

and that should move the symlink out of the way, and put the original download folder back.

If you still can't download anything large, try clearing your cache partition from clockworkmod recovery

So.... this is dev related?

Hi!

Since HSPL for Hd7 was released by DFT, i'm interested to build a custom rom for HD7. But i'm looking for a "kitchen" for it.

If anybody have it, please attach here :D

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reeg420:
Andim made kitchen tools for wp7 that worked fo the hd2. It needs to be done manually so it's a little more time consuming versus ervius visual kitchen. Haven't had time to go through it but HTCrie does read the tmous nodo rom football posted haven't had a chance to edit it or add the 7712 mango update from a zip file in the hd2 section. So im not sure if it fully works or if it will mess up your phone. For the tools search for wp7 custom manual kitchen and you should find it. Xda2_haseeb posted a package with all andim tools and directions. Andim removed the tools from his thread because he thought xda2 was taking credit when all he did was package them kinda like ervius kitchen using bepe tools but he still took them down.

[Acer Iconia A500] anko184:
Yesterday i got an Iconia A500, first thing i did was, of course, to root it and install cwm recovery.

Now i want to flash a new rom but i don't have much time to try all roms and decide which one is the best.

So i decided to take a shortcut with this poll.

Here we go guys...

Which rom do you believe it's the best for Iconia?

Feel free to write comments for your decision. And thank you all for your time.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
You missed off the Stock option.

I've tried all those custom ones, and they all have issues which Stock doesn't.

Plus, which one is "best" is purely subjective. All your poll will tell you is which one people use MOST, which doesn't necessarily make it the best.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sector51:
Taboonay

imho
[Acer Iconia A500] anko184:
I hear you or better read you mate and I know that the word "best" doesn't actually represent what I need but I will get an idea.

Can you please explain the issues the custom roms have? Cause I use custom roms since my first windows smartphone 3 years ago and I must say that I love custom roms.
[Acer Iconia A500] cfrock:
yeah, you should probably add 'stock' and 'lightspeed' as the latter is gaining traction. i'm using stock rooted for now.
[Acer Iconia A500] anko184:
I didn't add stock because i like the extras on the custom roms. As for lightspped it has too many apk's removed for my taste.
[Acer Iconia A500] richdaley:
I have had my a500 for a month and I think I have tried every ROM except for the minimalist (or whatever it is now called). In general I have found the roms that are based on the stock rom are the best (taboonay, honeyvillain). Taboonay is cool because the developer, Vache, makes available a kitchen UI that is web based so you can modify the ROM and add/remove items. Very cool.

I used Primee which is a build of the Transformer rom for the first two weeks I had the device and I really liked it but there was some sort of dispute over kernel source which I don't come close to understanding and the developer took his toys and went home. He continues to build and support the rom on his own site but I like ROMs to have the visibility of XDA for support.

I tried all of the virtuous roms and it is cool to see roms from other devices but it always seems like there is some little tweak or lag that drives me crazy. Virtuous Galaxy is by far the slickest looking rom IMO. Dare I say that Samsung is almost Apple-like in their UI design (I mean that as a compliment I think).

Right now I am running Taboonay 1.1 with richardtrip's OC kernel and it is silky smooth. It is almost disappointing to have a ROM work so well because as an early Android adopter (HTC Magic), I sort of enjoy the journey more than the destination. Luckily, there is and always will be new ROMs to try.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
By excluding ROMs that don't represent what you actually need, you render the whole poll null and void. For all you know, a ROM you left off could well be the most popular!

As for problems, it's things like camera not working properly, or rotation lock not working, or differences in how the external SD card is mounted, or random reboots, or preinstalled games from the stock ROM either missing or not working if you install them etc. All fairly minor things, but I like all the parts on my tab to work as they were meant to work. That's why I run a stock ROM, but use RichardTrips OC'd kernel (which is near to stock).
[Acer Iconia A500] shdw03:
ditto. stock/richtrip oc kern
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
Well it's a bit more complex than that, you also have to take into consideration (along with it being subjective) the fact that the results are only coming from people who like vote in polls :)

So strictly the thread title should be: Best custom rom - results based only on people who like to vote in polls :)

PS I did not vote - but currently using dexters new primee 3.2

[Acer Iconia A500] vince1979:
I am using Virtuous Galaxy 1.04 ROM; the only issue is not being able to seek in the You Tube app; other than that it's a fast ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] spr0k3t:
My two favorite are not even on there. Lightspeed and Minimal. I like Lightspeed as I can use a custom kernel and clock the tablet to 1.6GHz. I like Minimal as it's a very well done rom without bloat. These are the only two I like better than stock. I've tried many of the others, but only those above have really been worth it for me.

[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
The best problem free for me is stock 3.1 and loving it, love the others but toooo many problems.
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
primee. 9-5a all the way. You can find it on tabletroms.com, and is by far the most stable, well built roms to date, with all the features of the transformer Rom but a hybrid base file system with a lot from the stock Iconia for compatibility
[Acer Iconia A500] bhalbower:
My comparison of 4 ROMS. Like Taboonay 2.1 the best.

I have flashed 4 different ROMS since I purchased my Iconia a500. Here is my take on the pros and cons.

•	The first one I tried was Virtuous Picasso 1.1.0 [HC 3.1]. Super fast and had no problems, but I didn’t like the fact that it wasn’t based on an ACER build and there was no way to add the Acer stock games to the ROM. This ROM had the highest Quadrant score out of all the ROMs I tried. It’s discontinued, so there will be no more updates.

•	The second one I tried was Honeyvillian 1.05 [HC 3.1]. Good speed, very reliable, and I was able to add the Acer stock games back to the ROM and flash an overclock kernel. The ROM was based on an ACER build, so all the stock software was included. I like some of the ACER stock software, but some of it I could live without. I was reluctant to upgrade to Honeyvillian 1.1 which is a Honeycomb 3.2 ROM because it was based on the a501 OTA update and not the a500 OTA update, and I decided to hold out for a Honeycomb 3.2 Rom that was based on the OTA update for the a500.

•	The third ROM I tried was Acer_A500 OTA 7.006.01 [HC 3.2] Rooted w/ Busybox for CWR [Sep 17th, 2011] by ezterry. This ROM was very near stock but rooted. I was able to Flash the adhoc fix and set ro.carrier=wifi-only. It uses the default Acer kernel but I was able to flash an overclock kernel. The ROM was very smooth and had no problems. A great ROM if you want to stay very close to stock and like all the stock ACER software.

•	The forth ROM I tried was Taboonay 2.1 [HC 3.2]. I decided to try this ROM because it is based on the a500 OTA 3.2 Honeycomb update for a500 users and the a501 OTA 3.2 update for a501 users. The ROM has all the Acer stock software removed, but you can use the online kitchen to add just the Acer apps and games you want and skip the ones you don’t want. Plus the games get installed to the data partition so they don’t take up room in the ROM it self, and they can be uninstalled. You can also use the online kitchen to install a few other goodies like themes and bootup animations. It has an overclock kernel built in and ro.carrier=wifi-only is set by default for a500 users. So far the speed is great. The only issue I have is that the screen sometimes turns off and on for a second when it sleeps on its own. If I put it to sleep by clicking the power button, the problem doesn’t occur. So far this is my favorite ROM because I get the benefits of Honeycomb 3.2 and I can pick the stock Acer apps I want. GREAT ROM!!! I think I will stay with this one for a while.

Hope this helps some of you that are doing your initial research on picking your first ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] kkholidaze:
Total noob question. I don't mind the stock rom but I would like to overclock. Is it possible to just keep stock rom but still use a kernel like tripps? Also, when 3.2 finally goes ota here in the states, do I need to put everything back to stock (netflix patch as an example) before I update as to not brick my device? Thanks for the help
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
RichardTrips kernel works fine with stock.

Regarding 3.2, if you take the FOTA, you will lose root, you will lose CWM, and you will lose the ability to flash custom ROMs and kernels. It has a new bootloader that hasn't been broken yet and so far, can't be rooted unless its done pre-flashing.

There's a modded version of the 3.2 stock in the dev section that doesn't do all this, from ezterry.
[Acer Iconia A500] kkholidaze:
so do you recommend just flashing a custom rom that already has 3.2? also, what benefits should I see using trips kernal over the stock one? Lastly, can someone post a link to the trip kernel that I should download. Did a search and couldn't find it. Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] bhalbower:
Yes.

Flash the ROM by ezterry. It's based on the 3.2 update but rooted. It is very near stock, but you can flash an OC kernel.

FAQ

Q. I have installed the official HTC developer Gingerbread update. Can I install this?

A. The preview of the new version of Alpharev (Revolutionary) should be able to help you with this.

Q. Do I need to install this radio?

A. No, but it's highly recommended.

Q. Does this support 720p?

A. Yes. It supports everything that the official ROM supports.

Q. My wifi disconnects occasionally - I had no problem in froyo.

A. This is a problem with the official ROM. It cuts the wifi connection if the signal falls low and switches to your data connection. There will be an optional mod to revert this soon.

Q. Can I use this with Alpharev?

A. Yes. But your system partition must be 250mb.
[Desire Android Development] j5m:
Hi Teppic,

I'm still using your froyo rom. Thank you very much, runs very smoothly. I didn't use the a2sd+ you included there but i need more room now.

How much space is left to install apps after installing this rom?

Will you include a powersaving modpack?

If you add some form of apps to sd will you give us the option of keeping dalvik cache on the internal memory? (If I have read correctly, this gives least lag)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I think there's about 120mb free on a clean installation. Remember that in Gingerbread the official apps to sd function is better than in Froyo, and might be enough.

I need to spend more time to get other mods sorted out, but I thought it would be best to get the base rom out immediately.
[Desire Android Development] remorema:
altough I'm an AOSP fan this seems an excelent choice to go stock.

[Desire Android Development] blackcoffee85:
